Reflection #3

Reflection #3: Teacher tube, You tube, Interactive sites, Zamzar.

I could use these tools for many different things. Teacher tube was great. I really like it how it is like You tube, but clean and more useable for the classroom setting. The only con I see from using Teacher tube is that I may not always have the video clip you have in mind. Unlike You tube, it has everything on it. But the con side of You tube is, there are a lot of things on there I wouldn’t want to see, let only my students see them. Teacher tube is the way to go!

The interactive sites are a wonderful way to help the students learn in a new way. Like the National Geography, you are able to go under water hands on and learn what is under the water in that lake. As a teacher, I would never be able to take my students for real under water. But by using the computer, it is cheaper and easier to get to.

Zamzar is a neat tool. I always did worry that once I found a video I wanted to use in class, that it would disappear over time. But now I know how to keep the videos from disappearing. The pro of this tool is not losing the video.
